Am I addicted to golf?  That is the question I was asking myself as I drove up to Sunset Valley this past weekend.  I should note that it was 5:00 am in the morning.  Yup that’s right five in the morning.  With a wife and two kids at home I try to play as early as possible on the weekends so that I can be home for most of the day on the Saturdays that I play.

 

I know a lot of people love golf but who else is getting up with me at 4:50 on a Saturday to make sure they get to their tee-time at 6:00 am?  Well let me answer that, a lot of people.  Driving up to the course I was the only one on the road, and as I turned the corner to pull into the golf course I expected to be the first car in.  However to my surprise the course was buzzing with energy.  People on the putting green, people in the club house, the rangers were out greeting people and lining up golf carts for the day.

 

I quickly realized that there are not golf addicts rather those who golf and those who don’t.  Once you are bit by the golf bug all rational thought is lost and 6 o’clock wake up calls and $110 rounds make perfect sense.  So to all my fellow golfers Ill be seeing you on the course, Ill be the one holding the gallon of coffee.
